Answer

Brief Explanations:

"By the Waters of Babylon" is set in a post - apocalyptic New York. The story occurs many years after a disaster (apocalypse). The main character's people live in forest and hills areas. They have a different view of the "dead places" (the remnants of New York). The story does not take place during the apocalypse (so options with "during an apocalypse" or "immediately after an apocalypse" are wrong). Also, the society is not creating new technology to rebuild cities as they have a more primitive - like view of the past technology (which they consider as "god - made" things).

Answer:

The story is set in New York many years after an apocalypse, and communities have formed in the area’s forest and hills.
